  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simon, thanks for being here. It's the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: bonus segment for you podcast listeners out there now. All
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: kinds of things going on. You know, the idea of
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the Trump administress right now. The idea is to get
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: rid of all the illegals. The border closed without the wall.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Just Tom Holman Ice, the deportations those centers has stopped
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: all border crossing. There's nobody crossing. Ice running around trying
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to round up everybody. But they're also going through visas
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: now and yanking them when they find out that anybody
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: with a visas had any criminal activity on their record.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And in just the first few weeks they've gotten one
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five thousand visas that they've yanked. One
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five thousand visas now. A lot of
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: times it's like driving under the influence, theft, drug crimes,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. Significant number of visas have been
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: revoked for reckless driving, sexual assault, child abuse, fraud, embezzlement,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and other crimes. So slowly but surely getting all the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: people that shouldn't be here out here. JP Morgan now
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: saying the S and P five hundred, that's the broadest
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: way to measure the stock market, the Dow Jones that's
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: like fifty stocks. The S and P is five hundred stocks,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: so that's the best measure of the market. The S
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and P five hundred has been way up under President Trump.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: JP Morgan says it'll hit eight thousand by the end
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of the year. Eight thousand, which is a staggering Amount's unbelievable.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Outdoor dining, Hey, we love that in New York, and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: you'll notice this year most of it was gone. A
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: lot of the restaurants got rid of the outdoor dining.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And it's not that they couldn't do it in the summer,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: but they had these crazy regulations where if you had
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the outdoor dining the summer, you had to take it
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: down by a certain date. You're only allowed to do
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: for a couple of months, and then you had a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: star you had to dismantled it and store it somewhere.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So for a lot of restaurants, dismantling costs a lot
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of money, Reassembling it costs money, and then paying for
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: storage all winter was a pain in the next so
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of that's why a lot of people stopped
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: doing it this year. But the City Council taken action
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: passing legislation to end all that. You can leave it up.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: You know, there's restrictions now. It can't be all over
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the street. You can't be as big as you used
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to be. But you can leave it up all year.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So by next summer you'll see a lot more outdoor
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: dining come back to New York. Hey, speaking of restaurants,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you know we were talking about, I think it was
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: last week about people are drinking less and less. First
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of all, with those shots, the ozempic, all that stuff,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it causes you to drink less alcohol, and a lot
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of people just don't drink anymore. Younger generations don't drink
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: much anymore for whatever reason, they just stopped drinking. And
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: when it comes to wine, the wine business is down
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: like forty percent. In fact, some of the big vineyards
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: now are burning some of their vineyards because they don't
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: need them a younger generation. First of all, younger generations
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: don't like one. They don't even can't even figure it out,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and it's too complicated, and they're absolutely right. You ever
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: go out with some friend of yours who is like
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a wine expert, and they call over that guy that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: some la whatever they call him, and they so tell
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: me about this, and he discussed the one just pick something.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It's too complicated, too confusing, all these wines, so that
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: business is kind of dying. Now. The problem with the bars,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: with people drinking less. Big source of revenue was happy hour.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: That was very important. At five o'clock to seven o'clock,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: happy hour, before the dinner crowd. That's where you'd make
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of money. But happy hour business is way down.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Even if they show up, they're not drinking. So a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: lot of places now you'll hear this term all over
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the place, Golden hour. This is the new thing. Golden
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: hour is three to five. This is before happy hour,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Golden hour. They're trying to get people just just to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: show up at three, start ordering stuff. Every place is
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: starting to send out Golden Hour announcements. Now you might say,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: well a lot of people working three to five. Well,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know who they're targeting here, but you got
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: older people who are retired, and then you got younger
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: people under thirty. Half of believe it or not, half
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: of them don't work anymore. They're living at home and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: not working. So I guess Golden hour applies. For them.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I can do this story. Now,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: wait a minute here, all right, I'll tell you. There's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a guy that became pretty well known down in his
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: area and TMZ has been talking about him. The reason
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: he's become so noted is he has the world's smallest penis.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Medical experts are looking at this. It is the world's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: smallest penis. It's zero point three eight inches. Now, wait
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a minute, or maybe that's the width. I think that's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the whith zero zo point three eight inches. A length
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: is like a two or three inches Anyway, a go
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: fundme page. He's got very big on TMZ, so a
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: go Fundme page was set up to help him solve this. Now,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: apparently there is a procedure where they will inject dermal
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: filler and it costs about four thousand dollars. He didn't
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: have it, so this go fundme, though, raised about twenty
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: thousand bucks in donations, so he's going to go ahead
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: with the procedure. I don't know. I mean, I've never
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: heard of a case this bad. But the surplus cash,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the extra cash, he says, will cover doctor's fees, meds,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and any follow up appointments. He's Charlotte, North Carolina, said
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: he had several sexual encounters. He said he wasn't able
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to anyway, I can't go through it. I can't read
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the rest of this, but apparently he had to use
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a tweezers just to gnify find it and anyway, we hope,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: we hope he does better. We hope this solves his problems. Hey,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Justice Alito very important on the Supreme Court for especially
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: for President Trump. He called him one of the greatest
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: of all time. There was a lot of concern that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: he was going to retire and step down, but he
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: just said he will stay. He will stay for another
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: term of the Supreme Court. He's seventy six. That's like
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a little baby on the Supreme Court. But he's gonna stay,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: not stepping down. So that's that's good news. A new
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Land speed record was set. Now this is in a car.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You know, this is the coming thing in big new
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: technologies coming in cars. It'll be hydrogen powered cars. This
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: is different from electric cars, but apparently the hydrogen powered
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: cars will be pretty amazing. So this is a special
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: hydrogen car, the jay ZB Hydromax car, and they wanted
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to make the fastest car in history. And apparently just
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: set the all time record. They tested it out. They
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: got the British race car driver Andy Green to drive
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: this thing and he got up to four hundred and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: seven miles an hour. Now that's as fast as a plane.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Four hundred and seven miles an hour. And everything went well,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the car went well. They call this the fuel of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the future. They tested this at the Bonneville Salt Flats
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: in Utah. Four hundred and seven miles an hour, So
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: expect to start seeing that's if you're running out to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: start on electric cars. You know what, wait a year
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: or two and you get one of these hydrogen cars.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Works much better. Hey, this guy's a golfer, great golfer,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Zach Holland to handicap and played in college William Carey University. Anyways,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: in a tournament gets a hole in one, it's an
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: amazing thing. Until they find out he faked the whole thing.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: He didn't get a hole in one. Now, I don't
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: think this guy's that bright or I don't think he
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: just realizes everywhere there's security cameras, surveillance cameras, and country
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: clubs now have them. Everywhere you go to any major
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: country club, they got cameras everywhere because they sometimes have
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a problem at a country club. You know, sometimes it
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: happens a car is stolen, a golf bag is stolen,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: so they put cameras everywhere. Every club hasn't. So this guy,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: he was going to be in this tournament at the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Winghaven country Club. He's a member there, although after he
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: got caught, he's had to resign. He resigned. He got
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a hole in one in the tournament. Everybody was amazed,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: they were thrilled. It was an unbelievable hole in one. Well,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: they checked the security footage and how did he fake it?
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: He got there way before the tournament, way before it started,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and put a ball in the hole in the cup.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: And then later when they were playing and he hit
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: his shot. Somehow he took the ball wherever it landed
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and then walked over the hole and they saw the ball,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the ball right there in the hole. I mean, he's
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: kind of clever the way he did it, but not
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: so clever because he didn't realize they got security cameras everywhere.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: They looked at it, and he confessed. He confessed right
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: away that he faked the hole, and he said, you know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the only problem is is he's getting harassed online and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: his wife and kids are getting harassed. But he said, quote,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you do something as dumb as I did, there are
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: consequences for that. So at least he's at least he's
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: honorable abouts except for the fake and everything, he's otherwise
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: pretty honorable about it. So hey, Florida businesses are so
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: thrilled with Mom Donnie. State of Florida has had so
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: many companies, businesses, corporations moved down there, billionaires. It's making
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: their economy. Boom said. They're so grateful. They took out
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a billboard in Times Square, big Time Square billboard, which
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: is not cheap, thanking Mayor Mom Donnie, thanking him for
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: sending jobs companies, wealthy resident. The Florida Chamber of Commerce
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: paid for it. It was a digital billboard Broadway in West
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: forty third to Mom Donnie, and they called him Florida's
• 10:11

• 12:30
  Speaker 1: call it Oyster Bay in Long Island, Beautiful Oyster Bay. Well,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it's because they were filled with oysters that bay and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the baymen would bring out all the oysters. Well, apparently
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: these baymen were so good at it there weren't any
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: oysters left in Oyster Bay. By the nineteen nineties, there
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: were like ninety baymen working in there every day. They

  Speaker 1: going to create a hatchery, build a seven million dollar
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: dollar hatchery capable of supplying tens of millions of baby
